ROSWELL A. MOORE, JR, OF BERLIN, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO WATERBURYBUCKLE 00., OF WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION.

SUSPENDER-END.

To all whom "it may concern:

Be it known thatI, RoswnLL A. MOORE, Jr., a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Berlin, in the county of Hartford and State ofConnecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Susender-Ends; and I do hereby declare the fo lowing when taken inconnection with the accompanying drawings, and the letters of referencemarked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same,and which said drawings constitute part of this specification andrepresent in elevation my improved suspenderend applied to one of thefront ends of a pair of suspenders.

My invention relates to an improvement in that class of Suspender-endswhich are made of heavy cord arranged tohave sliding or running movementin Suspender-loops connected with the ends of the webbing at the frontand back, the object being to confine the endwise movement of theCOI'd'ilkO ends within convenient limits.

With these ends in view my invention con sists in the construction andcombination of parts hereinafter described and pointed out in the claim.

In carrying out my invention as herein shown, I locate stops 2 at equaldistances from the center of a continuous cord forming a Suspender-end3, the ends of the cord which is of uniform diameter throughout itslength, being turned upon themselves to form the button loops 4 and heldby the sheet metal Specification of Letters Patent.

clips 5. That portion of the cord between the stops 2 passes through andplays freely back and forth in a crescent-shaped sheetmetalsuspension-loop 6 furnished with a stud 7 adapted to be engaged with theslot 8 and retaining-linger 9 of the eye 10 through which the webbing 11passes. It will be understood that the cord 3 may run through the loop 6in either direction within the limits of the stops 2, whereby sufficientplay for convenience and comfort is provided, while at the same time therunning of the cord through the loop Gin one direction or the other soas to bring one or the other of the clips 5 into engagement with theloop 6 is avoided. I

I claim In a Suspender-end, the combination with a suspension-loop, of acontinuous cord bent upon itself at its ends to form button loops, andtwo stops respectively fixed upon the cord between the saidsuspension-loop and the said button-loops in position to engage with thesaid suspensionloop to limit the endwise movement of the cord in onedirection or the other through the same, the said cord being uniform indiameter throughout its length.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presenceof two subscribing witnesses.
